Grandmother, on right, lived her life in poverty. Mother, on left, lost most of her children; 3 died as babies and 4 of them left & never came home. Daughter, in middle, emigrated and struggled with anti-immigrant prejudice, yet made a better life for herself. RIP 💚

🔴We are outraged and strongly condemn the killing of our colleague, Fadi Al-Wadiya, this morning in #Gaza City. Fadi was a 33-year-old physiotherapist, father of three who joined @MSF in 2018. He was killed while cycling to work near the MSF clinic where he was providing care.

Making my way home from work in the ED and I am wrung out. I, however, don't have to worry about being targeted and killed for being a healthcare worker. Fadi was my age, a HCW and a father just like me. He was our colleague. Speak up.

Just to help you with your figures and to remember some basic mathematics
Brazen manipulation of statistics and a world class non sequitur derived from it. If it weren't for the objectively racist 'methodology', this tweet may even deserve some sort of award for utter stupidity. I'll go through real statistics. /1

There's no conspiracy. Restrictions on visitors and non-emergency admissions, during nosocomial outbreaks in acute hospitals, been going on for decades. Maybe people like Gilroy see conspiracies everywhere because they didn't previously care how hospitals work. Gobshites.

Spoke to on call Gynae Reg today about a patient. Rather than seeing her for an acute issue he suggested we try a certain treatment. What if she’s no better? I asked. His reply - send her to A&E! Under gynae? I asked? No - just to A&E. No wonder A&E is busy! Just not due to GPs!

Who’d have thunk it! Oh wait! All of us
For quite a while people outside ED have looked in & said - ‘the patients could go elsewhere’ The staff in ED have been pretty confident that these are ED patients & just need flow and staffing to meet the patient need -it appears they were right! hsj.co.uk/emergency-care/aan…

2. We can't admit patients quickly enough as we don't have enough beds. We can't discharge people in a timely way as our privatised care system isn't efficient & can cherry pick patients. What happens? Elective procedures are cancelled & waiting lists increase.

1. Robert Watt punching down at healthcare staff is truly appalling. He is welcome to visit any acute hospital to see the impact of overcrowding on the waiting lists he is concerned with. irishexaminer.com/news/arid-…

I’d love for Nike to explain why male and female athletes can’t wear the same kit but adjusted for size. Why do the female runners cheeks and genitals need to be half out?
BREAKING: Here's your first look at the new @Nike kits that will be worn by the U.S. track and field team at the 2024 Olympics in Paris.

Emergency Departments are crowded because of insufficient inpatient beds not low acuity/inappropriate/drunk/primary care patients.

WTAF, but their aim is only to eliminate Hamas. Sure!
🚨Breaking: The entire emergency medical team, including the department head, was abducted by the Israeli army from Al-Shifa Hospital in #Gaza City .

Or this is connected to all the Kate Middleton stuff. Maybe all the rumours about the Marchioness of Cholmondeley was just a smoke screen and William was really having a torrid affair with Leo. They are planning a joint announcement later in the week.

Israel is a domestic abuser who's kicking the wife he forced himself on in the first place to death while complaining to neighbours & friends that she made him do it. The neighbours & friends are 'saddened' & 'concerned'. They throw bandaids in the letterbox for the wife and leave steel toe cap boots by the door for their mate to finish the job.

Important to call out this crap from very nasty people for what it is: total bullshit.
This NoNo Vote is just the beginning of a Nationalist comeback. It's a clear statement that we've had enough of weirdo Transsexual indoctrination of our kids, mass immigration into our country, and Uniparty instruction. We will not have mothers and sex-based rights removed from our Constitution. The Irish Freedom Party will lead the fight for Irish Freedom, a free people in a free country. Next, we want a referendum on immigration. Bring on the local and European elections of June 2024! Hermann Kelly and Patrice Johnson in Drogheda:
